Falkin Aberlane

Played by Denrael Sabretooth

Age: 60

Gender: Male

Species: Grey Squirrel

Appearance: Falkin has predominantly grey and silvered fur across most of his body (excluding his predominantly white underbelly). His eyes, hazel with flecks of scattered green, carry a surprising amount of youthfulness and eagerness to them. With his older age, he has grown smaller than many of his fellow squirrels.

Clothing: He simply wears a dark green waistcoat and a pair of round, glass spectacles atop his snout to assist with reading things up close.

Weaponry: He disposed of any proper weaponry he owned many seasons ago. However, he does carry a small walking stick with him on his few adventures and will use it if necessary.

Personality: He has always carried a fiery and aggressive attitude with him, but that attitude has since dwindled with the coming of old age. On the other hand, he is still very much the joking and spry youngster that he has always been. Some have even commented that he only carries the walking stick around to fool those watching him into misjudging him.

Backstory: Falkin, unlike the woodland squirrels of Mossflower, grew up in a distant eastern island across the sea. He had an average childhood, considering that he knew both of his parents and lived with them until his adolescent years. During this time, his father taught him many things, including archery and basic sword fighting techniques. His mother also taught him how to cook and apply basic healing methods. As he grew, he began to develop a sense of adventure like most young creatures do. So, when he came of age, he set off to explore the great unknown—the unknown being, in this case, Mossflower. He made the lengthy journey across the Eastern Sea in a boat commandeered by friendly otters and was dropped off near the shore, where he began a new journey, this time to fame. His tales of great wit, cunning, and glory spread across the land, until one day he vanished. Upon hearing about the death of his parents, Falkin realized that he had forgotten about where he came from. From that day forward, he vowed never to let his adventuring spirit get the best of him. Now, he lives a solitary life inside of Redwall Abbey, choosing to remain sequestered off from the other residents as often as possible. He has instead moved closer to a more peaceful bond with nature, spending his free time wandering the nearby forest and writing excerpts of his adventures. If, for any unforeseen circumstance, he feels called to return to his old ways, Falkin stands ready to help in any way he can.
